Royal Rajasthan Tour

If you are travelling from outside of Rajasthan, take a flight to the Jaipur International Airport. Start off your day with unpacking your luggage and freshen yourself up. Once you are ready make your way towards the Amber Palace of Jaipur. It takes about 3 hours to explore the palace and its 4 courtyards. Following this, you can enjoy the evening light and sound show which takes place from 7:30-8:30 PM. Make sure to book the tickets in advance as they are highly in demand. After the show you can have dinner in the Amber Palace Restaurant which stays open till 10:30 pm and then retire back to your hotel for restful sleep.

The second day of your tour will be eventful, with sightseeing activities so plan to leave early after breakfast. The first stop of your day will be the famous Jal Mahal on the Man Sagar Lake. The palace is a scenic location which gives you an opportunity to enjoy boating activity on the lake. After the visit either you can continue on to the next attraction or have lunch in one of the restaurants on the way. The next sightseeing attraction on your trip will be Hawa Mahal. The windows of the palace give you a clear view of the bustling streets of Jaipur, making it a great place for photography. Following this, you can take a short walk to the next destination, the City Palace. If you have spare time, you can also explore the nearby markets to shop for souvenirs and gifts. You will then travel to Bikaner for the next leg of your trip.

On the third day you can begin with a visit to the Lalgarh Palace and Museum. The palace has been converted to a palace hotel. The palace has three sections, the hotel which also houses a restaurant, the Sri Sadul Museum and a garden. Even if you are a guest of the hotel, you can still visit the museum which houses old artefacts, paintings, and photographs of the Bikaner royal family. You can also have lunch in the palace’s restaurant, but make sure to check if reservations are needed. Following a short lunch break, you can travel to the Laxmi Niwas Palace. The palace has a museum for tourists that showcases the history of Bikaner. With this, your day in Bikaner will come to an end and you will travel towards Jaisalmer.

Your fourth day of the tour will be exploring Jaisalmer’s most famous destination- Jaisalmer Fort. The fort has a vast compound, housing several museums, Jain temples, Hindu temples and Havelis. The main royal palace museum showcases artefacts related to the region’s history. Early in the day when the sun is bright, you can visit the indoor museums to avoid the sun. The Jain temples are dedicated to Jain Tirthankaras. Meanwhile, the Hindu temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and a popular pilgrimage site for Hindus. The fort also has a Tazia Tower which offers a beautiful panoramic view of the fort premises.

If you are exhausted after exploring the attractions here, take a break in the cafes or local shops where you can re-energize yourself. Exploring the fort can take more than 5 hours if you visit each and every attraction and museums here. You will then move on to the city of Jodhpur.

The fifth day of the tour will also be eventful as you will spend the day exploring the famous Mehrangarh Fort and its various palaces, the Umaid Bhawan Palace or Chittar Palace, and the Sardar Samand Lake and Palace in Jodhpur. The Mehrangarh Fort, spanning over 1200 acres, is home to the famous Sheesh Palace, Moti Mahal and Phool Mahal. There is also a museum in the fort where you can see historical paintings and other artefacts, and a restaurant where you can have lunch or refreshments.

Once you are ready to leave, make your way towards the Umaid Bhawan Palace where you can stroll through the gardens or the museum housing belongings and memorabilia of the royal family. The final stop of the sightseeing trip in Jodhpur will be the Sardar Samand Lake and Palace. The palace itself is a sight worth seeing, but if you want, you can also go boating on the lake.

On the final day of the trip, travel back to Jaipur via Ajmer. On the way, you can visit the Akbari Fort and Museum or the Government Museum, and the Ajmer Fort. You can shop for local goods to take back home as well.
